Saint Hildegard Feast Day Activities

September 10, 2019

I love the name Hildegard!! When I discovered there was a Saint Hildegard I was ecstatic to learn all about her and what an interesting saint she is! I had to add her to the list of feast days to celebrate this year. Saint Hildegard’s feast day is right around the corner on September 17th.

Here are a few facts about Saint Hildegard:

  • Saint Hildegard was a writer, composer, philosopher, Christian mystic, and German Benedictine abbess
  • She was the youngest of 10 children!! 
  • Hildegard was a sickly child and received little education
  • At the age of 18, she became a Benedictine nun at the Monastery of St. Disibodenberg
  • She was extremely knowledgeable of herbs and medicinal arts
  • At a young age, Hildegard experienced visions and she did not want to make her visions public.
  • Three most significant works are Scivias, Liber Vitae Meritorum, and Liber Divinorum Operum.
  • There are more chant compositions surviving by St. Hildegard than any other medieval composer. how neat!
  • On May 10, 2012, Pope Benedict XVI gave St. Hildegard an equivalent canonization, and laid down the groundwork for naming her a Doctor of the Church. Five months later, she officially became a Doctor of the Church, making her the fourth woman of 35 saints to be given that title by the Roman Catholic Church. Pope Benedict XVI called Hildegard, “perennially relevant” and “an authentic teacher of theology and a profound scholar of natural science and music.”

“No creature has meaning
without the Word of God.
God’s Word is in all creation, visible and invisible.
The Word is living, being,
Spirit, all verdant
all creativity.
This Word flashes out in
every creature.
This is how the spirit is in
the flesh — the Word is indivisible from God.”

-Saint Hildegard of Bingen

Music:

“The fire has its flame and praises God.
The wind blows the flame and praises God.
In the voice we hear the word which praises God.
And the word, when heard, praises God.
So all of creation is a song of praise to God.”
